Problem :

One or more of the following ARIA-based products is installed on my machine but does not show up as an
available bank in ARIA Player :

a) Instruments for Finale 2009
b) AKAI EWI USB
c) Instruments for Finale  (Finale 2010)

Solution :

Under some circumstances and user settings (especially if you have imported user settings
from a user that was created on 10.2), a bug shows up in the installer preventing some
preferences to be written correctly, although it will not prevent the involved products to
work correctly, it will prevent them from showing up in ARIA Player. To fix the issue
yourself you will need to manually edit a plist file with a simple text editor (TextEdit
works fine for that).

The file to edit is named:

com.plogue.aria.plist

and it can be found in :

/Library/Preferences

(depending on your language settings Library will show up as a different word)

Before anything else make sure to make a copy of the original file in case
something goes wrong.

c) Instruments for Finale  (Finale 2010)

save the file when the change is done
